5 alarms (well, honestly, maybe 4, 4 & 1/2)

Wyclef Jean, The Carnival

(He's Haitian, so it's pronounced like "zhaan," by the way, not "gene")

"You're listening to rap?!?!"

"That's not Wyclef!!"

Just some sounds at the beginnings of various periods.

Yep, the old man listens to some rap/hip hop.

More to come, too.

Later I will tell you that my favorite Fugee solo album is The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, but at times it has also been this one & Pras's Ghetto Supastar.

They are all really, really good.

Oh, & for a few of you who mentioned you have The Carnival II: Memoirs of an Immigrant, note that this is where it started.

& yep, the old man has in his collection NWA, Public Enemy, Kanye, Common, & a few other surprises.

By the way, the title came from my dinner. My wife made some fantastic chili, but I need the heat, so I added some of this:





6000,000 Scovilles.

Yep, it comes w/ the bullet keychain & all.

Any extreme heat fans out there, let's chat.

Also, if Nick Plunkett is in the house, note that I forgot, so the ghost chili goes in tomorrow.


Juniors:
Some of you all tried the truth, the whole truth, & nothing but the truth.

& it got really interesting.

Also, you had the pages from Michael Foot's intro for the context of the quotations you were given Monday, & it was good.

(Except for the crazy messups of the copies.)

Seminar prep due tomorrow.

Seminar Monday & Tuesday.

Be honest!!!


Sophomores:
Antigone, we shall read.

Yes, it is the 3rd part of a trilogy, but you'll get all the soap-opera details of the 1st 2 parts.

Today you turned in your unit 3 "completing sentences," & you got started on your drama notes.

Tomorrow was going to be the quiz, but you're getting a long-weekend break, & you'll take it Monday.

Be cool!!!
